No, it's not likely to be compatible. The problem is that Canon did not update the drivers for many of its older cameras under the Vista operating system. So you're likely to run into problems downloading directly from the camera using the software ...

I am having trouble with two Canon camera's, so I have a question already posted about my Digital video camera, but this is related.
When I installed the software for my Video camera, it came with an Image Browser. I find that the original Image Browser installed on my computer has now changed and opens up like the one installed for the video camera.
I downloaded three pictures from my S410 Elph and they came up on the Image Browser window.
When I was trying to figure out how this n

I cannot find how to delete my photos from my canon A720IS once I have downloaded them onto my computer using the Canon Window software that came with the camera.
I have had canon cameras before and used the software that would give you the option to clear the camera once you have downloaded. This time - nothing. I have over 300 photos on the camera - help I can't delete one at a time!

The first thing to do is to remove any supplied software that cane with the camera[In this Case Canon]Windows is capable of carrying out operations required.When plugging the camera in - Windows wil ...

My Canon Powershot G3 will not respond. When I turn it on a get a rapidly flashing green light on the back, and when I try to connect I get the message on the computer that there is no supporting software. To try to reinstall the software on the camera I uninstalled the Canon software, reinstalled it, and then connected the camera, hoping that the software would reinstall whatever was corrupted or missing. Do you know what is going on? Paul Luyben

My Canon ixus55 was downloading from camera to computer with no hassles and then stopped all of a sudden? Done nothing different I use the canon zoombrowser program provided by canon for download. I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the software now that does not fully install as well. Any assistance is much appreciated.

I have a 2004 Canon video camera (mini dv cassette) and a 2007 Macbook. With long-time intentions, I am finally getting around to connecting them, though when I did, the software included with the camera seemed to be out of date. I was hoping to easily download video into iMovie. Can it be simple? Do I need to get updated Canon software?

You don't specify which model you have, but all models produced in 2004 and later are compatible with Mac X OS 10 operating systems for downloading video. The software that came with the camcorder is primarily for downloading still images, not for vi ...

Does Canon have a problem with their software? When I try to download photos the camera is recognized by the software but then the window does not provide software available to download, even though I have downloaded tons of photos prior to this problem. The computer was sent to the shop and the Canon software was uninstalled and then reinstalled. The tech cleaned up some other issues, but is at a loss to figure out why the software will not download photos. We have spent litteraly hours on this

Did you try reading the card with a card reader. The camera's card reader slot is very sensitive to file system changes and this is probably the reason why its not able to download. Inset the card into your laptop's card reader and see if it reads th ...

I didn't get a manual with this Canon PS S200 camera from eBay, but had used my sister's S200 camera, etc., and was familiar with this model. I had installed
the software (Canon Zoombrowser) that came with her camera onto my computer, and all worked the way I expected with her camera and my computer. So I expected the same action with this auction model. I ordered and printed out an online manual for my "new" S200, and then took pix. I am having no luck transferring the

Canon 450D is not being recognised by my computer (I run xp 32-bit). When I turn on the camera, windows comes up with a "install new hardware" option. I have installed the EOS utility etc. but still the camera isn't recognised by my computer. Anyone have ANY idea? This also happened with my 350D, the only time my computer recognised the camera was when I installed the software package included with the camera. Nothing off the Canon site worked for my 350D, and so far nothing is working for the

Hi I recently purchased Canon Powershot Sd1200 IS. I installed the Solution Disc software but when I connect the camera to my computer there is nothing that tells me I have installed new hardware - the computer makes the ringing sound when I turn camera power on and off. Only the user guides show on my computer. Before this camera I had the Canon Powershot SD1000 and was able to download my pictures with no problem. Was told at Future Shop that it might be a problem with my computer. rnEmail

EOS Utility I purchased a Rebel Xsi, and installed the software. Upon connecting my camera to my computer, and launching the EOS Utility, the options to download the images, select images, or camera settings are shaded out. In order to transfer pictures, I have to go into "My Computer", open up the camera and copy and paste it. I have updated all of the software from Canon's website with the June 2009 updates, and the problem persists. Thanks for the help.

I got the same problem updating the EOS Utility. The version on the original SXi CD is 2.4.0.1. The upgrade is version 2.6.1. I suggest you to uninstall all the updated software. Or at least the EOS Utility. Go to the folder <C:\\Documents and Se ...
